Description: From one of Dan Hinkley’s seed collections from E'meishan Sichuan China, which we in turn collected from his garden. A wonderful form of this small suckering shrub that is best seen growing on raised areas to extenuate one of its most endearing features of the chalky white undersides of the broad sparingly spiny edged foliage. Bearing loose spikes of contrasting coral red and creamy white flowers in autumn, meanwhile the foliage despite being evergreen can transform to fiery reds when grown in good light. The plump rounded bloomy fruit are held through the winter into spring if the birds leave them. Best grown in a reasonably sheltered site out of freezing winds in a moisture retentive, but well drained soil, with added lime in very acidic soils.
